|
3 | | -This code of conduct outlines our expectations for participants within this |
4 | | -DSC Resource Module community, as well as steps to reporting unacceptable behavior. |
5 | | -We are committed to providing a welcoming and inspiring community for all and expect |
6 | | -our code of conduct to be honored. Anyone who violates this code of conduct may be |
7 | | -banned from the community. |
8 | | - |
9 | | -Our open source communities strive to: |
10 | | - |
11 | | -- **Be friendly and patient.** |
12 | | -- **Be welcoming:** We strive to be a community that welcomes and supports people |
13 | | - of all backgrounds and identities. This includes, but is not limited to members |
14 | | - of any race, ethnicity, culture, national origin, colour, immigration status, |
15 | | - social and economic class, educational level, sex, sexual orientation, gender |
16 | | - identity and expression, age, size, family status, political belief, religion, |
17 | | - and mental and physical ability. |
18 | | -- **Be considerate:** Your work will be used by other people, and you in turn |
19 | | - will depend on the work of others. Any decision you take will affect users and |
20 | | - colleagues, and you should take those consequences into account when making |
21 | | - decisions. Remember that we're a world-wide community, so you might not be |
22 | | - communicating in someone else's primary language. |
23 | | -- **Be respectful:** Not all of us will agree all the time, but disagreement is |
24 | | - no excuse for poor behavior and poor manners. We might all experience some |
25 | | - frustration now and then, but we cannot allow that frustration to turn into a |
26 | | - personal attack. It's important to remember that a community where people feel |
27 | | - uncomfortable or threatened is not a productive one. |
28 | | -- **Be careful in the words that we choose:** we are a community of professionals, |
29 | | - and we conduct ourselves professionally. Be kind to others. Do not insult or |
30 | | - put down other participants. Harassment and other exclusionary behavior aren't |
31 | | - acceptable. |
32 | | -- **Try to understand why we disagree:** Disagreements, both social and technical, |
33 | | - happen all the time. It is important that we resolve disagreements and differing |
34 | | - views constructively. Remember that we're different. The strength of our community |
35 | | - comes from its diversity, people from a wide range of backgrounds. Different people |
36 | | - have different perspectives on issues. Being unable to understand why someone holds |
37 | | - a viewpoint doesn't mean that they're wrong. Don't forget that it is human to err |
38 | | - and blaming each other doesn't get us anywhere. Instead, focus on helping to resolve |
39 | | - issues and learning from mistakes. |

83 | | -## Diversity Statement |
84 | | - |
85 | | -We encourage everyone to participate and are committed to building a community |
86 | | -for all. Although we will fail at times, we seek to treat everyone both as fairly |
87 | | -and equally as possible. Whenever a participant has made a mistake, we expect them |
88 | | -to take responsibility for it. If someone has been harmed or offended, it is our |
89 | | -responsibility to listen carefully and respectfully, and do our best to right the |
90 | | -wrong. |
91 | | - |
92 | | -Although this list cannot be exhaustive, we explicitly honor diversity in age, |
93 | | -gender, gender identity or expression, culture, ethnicity, language, national |
94 | | -origin, political beliefs, profession, race, religion, sexual orientation, socioeconomic |
95 | | -status, and technical ability. We will not tolerate discrimination based on any |
96 | | -of the protected characteristics above, including participants with disabilities. |
97 | | - |
98 | | -## Reporting Code of Conduct Issues |
99 | | - |
100 | | -If you experience or witness unacceptable behavior—or have any other concerns, |
101 | | -please report it by contacting us via [[email protected]](mailto:[email protected]). |

103 | | - |
104 | | -In your report please include: |
105 | | - |
106 | | -- Your contact information. |

108 | | - are additional witnesses, please include them as well. |
109 | | -- Your account of what occurred, and if you believe the incident is ongoing. |

111 | | - public chat log), please include a link or attachment. |
112 | | -- Any additional information that may be helpful. |
113 | | - |
114 | | -After filing a report, a representative will contact you personally, review the |
115 | | -incident, follow up with any additional questions, and make a decision as to how |
116 | | -to respond. If the person who is harassing you is part of the response team, they |
117 | | -will recuse themselves from handling your incident. If the complaint originates |
118 | | -from a member of the response team, it will be handled by a different member of |
119 | | -the response team. We will respect confidentiality requests for the purpose of |
120 | | -protecting victims of abuse. |
